also lists valid country codes. When the code is correct, simply hit “ENTER” on the
keyboard or click in the “COSPAS CERT #” dialogue box.
In the “COSPAS CERT #” dialogue box, enter the Cospas-Sarsat certificate number for
the ELT being programmed. See the grid above to match an ELT part number to the
proper Cospas-Sarsat certificate number. If the default Cospas-Sarsat certificate number
is correct simply hit “ENTER” on the keyboard or click on the “SERIAL NUMBER”
dialogue box.
Enter a serial number in the “SERIAL NUMBER” dialogue box, as assigned by Artex.
For certain ELT models, it matches the ELT hardware serial number seen on the product
label. For other ELT models (especially future ELT models), this may not apply. Check
the table above for the “programmed serial #” assigned to the ELT’s part number. Don’t
forget to check for special programming rules unique to the country programmed. If a
country uses a “block” number format instead, it is entered here. Hit “ENTER” (screen
or keyboard).
The 32 digit hex code is shown in the box at the top of the screen, and the abbreviated 15
digit hex code is shown in the box beneath.
Click on the “WRITE ELT” button (or hit “ENTER” on the keyboard if the “WRITE
ELT” button is highlighted) to program the ELT. Close the temporary programming
window when programming is finished.

In the “COUNTRY CODE” dialogue box, select a country or type in the country code
number in small box to the right. Only the proper country code number will be shown

keyboard or click in the “SERIAL NUMBER” dialogue box.
Enter the serial number in the “SERIAL NUMBER” dialogue box, as assigned by the
ELT’s country of registry. Hit “ENTER” (screen or keyboard).
The 32 digit hex code is shown in the box at the top of the screen, and the abbreviated 15

If
Any – Use BCNCODE To Create
is selected:
ANY – Use BCNCode will automatically start the BCNCODES program to create the
hex code manually for any protocol not listed above. This is password protected so its
use is limited to those trained to program with BCNCodes directly.
After creating the hex code, press “F” to invoke the File List command. This places the
hex code data in storage so it can be transferred out to the “ARTEX” ELT programming
software.

Press the “ESC” key 4 times to exit. Do not exit any other way. The “ARTEX” ELT
programming software assumes and requires that you use the “ESC” key to exit from
BCNCODES.
